• The main expected effects of climate change for which this SO aims to develop the area’s adaptation capacity are:

– sea level rise,

– flooding (in both coastal and hinterland areas),

– accelerated coastal erosion,

– subsidence,

– increasing water temperatures,

– acidification of the marine waters,

– saltwater intrusion into freshwater systems,

– increased occurrence of heavy rainfall,

– severe droughts and fires.

13

Italy and Croatia do not have a common river basin in the Programme area. However both share problems with flooding in the coastal area and could develop joint solutions to tackle such problem.

SO 2.1 is intended to focus more on climate and natural disaster effects with a longer time span compared to the ones tackled by the SO 2.2

actions!

Specific Objective 2.2 - Focus

19

SO 2.2 is intended to focus more on natural and man-made disasters which should comprise the natural disaster with sudden effects.

Main natural and man-made disasters to tackle are: • Floods • Fire • Oil spill • Other marine hazard


20

Exemples of the difference between projects under SO 2.1 and SO 2.2:

1) Considering fires and floods: SO2.1 should focus on the long term effects of climate change on water availability (droughts and floods) and fire through actions for better assessing local impacts and selecting adaptation strategies, whereas the SO 2.2 should focus on the immediate effects of disaster with development of common tools and schemes for monitoring the risks and managing the emergencies.

2) Man-made disasters (oil spill and other marine hazards). The focus is on oil spill and other hazards such as chemicals spill which produce a huge and sudden negative effect on environment and human health. Continuous small spills, alien species introduction, etc. should not be prioritized under SO 2.2.

• protection and promotion of old crafts and tradition (e.g. historical boats

sector) by mean of training and awareness raising actions

• enhancing cultural heritage through research activities and restoration of

quality sites for territorial development


27

• Focus on territorial development, which means not only economic but also environmental and social aspects. Therefore promotion and improvement of tourism activities and facilities should not be the only aspects to be considered in the projects. No isolated and one-off events/initiatives in the tourist or cultural sector will be financed as this is not territorial development (other EU Programmes are aimed at funding these initiatives e.g. Creative Europe, Erasmus+).

• Sustainability of project impact: those which demonstrate that they will have long-term and sustainable impacts should be preferred.

• In tourism sector: focus on projects addressing the off-season activities and the reduction of pressure of the most attractive tourist sites (reducing human pressure and seasonality, reduction of pressure on coastal area and promotion of hinterland, focus on less targeted tourism itineraries, valorization of rural and minor natural – cultural sites …).

• Focus on protection and promotion of old crafts and tradition (e.g. historical boats sector).

• Particular attention will be given to technologies aimed at contrasting marine debris. • Pollution and waste issues may be funded even if they are not directly sea-related but

if they impact on the water. Air pollution is quite difficult to be tackled. • Potential overlapping with other SO:

• With SO 1.1. : innovative technologies related to waste, wastewater, air and soil pollution. Projects aiming to improve the environmental quality (pollution directly related or with direct influence on the sea water quality) with innovative process/technology solutions should be presented under SO 3.3 and not SO 1.1. If the process/technology solutions although related to improvement of the local environmental quality has no direct relation/influence on the sea water quality it should be submitted under SO 1.1.

• With SO 4.1.: reduction and prevention of all possible kinds of pollution deriving from transport and port activities. the project will be considered as consistent with SO 3.3 if its main focus is on the use of innovative technologies to reduce pollution from transport/port activities while it should be considered under SO 4.1 if the project’s main focus is to enhance the transport/port efficiency and only one among the expected results is the reduction of pollution.
